I hope you don't just limit this to console format, at the very minimum it should be available on PC's as well. Games like, Elite, Wing Commander and many similar flight sim/combat games worked well on PC's don't shut the PC players out of this as you did with DUST, bear in mind not everyone can justify additional games platforms hardware when they already have and maintain good hardware to play EVE.
Apart from that way to go CCP :) Great to see this development , so more power to your elbows for this, When is it going beta? :D


To sort of nip this one in the butt, OR isn't designed to work on consoles, nor is console support planned. Mobile platforms(Tablets/Smartphones) are planned though(reference in above, one of those news links).

I hope CCP learned from Dust and makes it available on the computer.

I was under the impression that:

DUST514 - CCP Shanghai
WOD - CCP North America
EVE - CCP Reykjavik
EVE:Valkyrie - CCP UK

So the guys in the UK are not working on DUST514.

So even if EVE:Valkyrie turns out to be 100% stand alone, it's still good publicity and probably a good strategic business decision.

Military experts call this a cyno... uhm a win - win situation.

What I am waiting for is to know how will that affect EVE. I doubt they dare to add another game to TQ (let alone a twitch based one) so we're essentially left with CCP working on 3 other games and EVE still getting visited by Doctor Restat's Wagon of Hawezome.

Nice work.
Looks awesome

But

what about EvE? You remember that Game? It made all of this possible.

New Industrials and some little Updates?

That´s it`?

So is WoD on permanent hold then? Sad

I take it the first-person flight control scheme will be incorporated into Eve at some point, as atmos flight perhaps to add proper air superiority for the dirt dwelling grunts?

They'll probably release a special edition of Google Glass or something fashioned to look like a monocle so I'd hold off on that if I were you Big smile

Played EvR four or five times at Fanfest. I guess all the praise and begging the devs to release it paid off.

Please send over some test rigs to Eve Vegas in October so I can play it again so more people can try it out! Blink

This sounds really cool! There's a hell of a lot of possibilities as to where they could be going with this. I am excite.

I need PS3 to play Dust, oculus whatever to play Valkyrie...Not gonna buy any of them. I have the PC, I have 3d screen and 3d glasses and that's all my investment for gaming.

I don't like the idea to be forced to buy additional stuff to play. I feel like you're picking my pocket.

looks nice ,but all i see is eyesight problems later in life and headaches . i'm a welder by trade so i'm used things like that . trust me staring and following a small dot around for hours tends to hurt your eyes after awhile.long term effects from VR will be a problem i think . my two bits anyway

All ive heard from people that like the idea of eve but dont play say its because of the point and click and not so much control on your end. I know this new game is going to fill that void and own BOSSSS. so excited, looking forward to your geniusness.

This is going to be Awesome!

And I will lay down Isk on a bet that this game will be on a mobile device. You will plug your Oculus Rift headset into a tablet or a cell phone & battle your best friend(s) from across the world.

It only makes sense to go mobile with it, that's the biggest market going forward if not now. Cell phones are getting faster, better graphics & connections are lightning fast.

CCP has voiced that they want to get into the mobile gaming arena, well this would be a HUGE SUCCESS.

What would be that much more awesome is to allow a player to use their Eve Online character to carry over to this new game.

So, if you are not playing Eve Online, because you are not at your computer. Then you could hook the Oculus Rift up to your cell phone, log into Eve: Valkyrie & your Eve Online character can take part in space flight battles. This would be just Awesome!

Yep, using the Oculus Rift for extended periods of time might raise some concerns regarding your eyes' and brain's health. Never used one before or read its technical specs, so I don't know if there is any significant amount of magnetism emmited by the integrated circuit, but exposing your eyes to bright light source so closely (even though not as intense as those you will face when welding) has the potential to, at least, expose your retinas to extra stress. Although I suppose the lenses they are fitting in between the display and your eyes might provide some protection . Regarding brain health I'd become more concerned if they made a wireless (bluetooth or wifi) version. In this case might need to include a tinfoil hat in the package Twisted

Maybe use the CREST API data to replay large capital engagements as a backdrop for Eve:Valkyrie. I mean unlikely that the individual fighters would turn the tide of battle, but seeing PL warp in and dunk the Dev convoy, or loose a Revenant or whatever and be able to fly around the ships as they executed the actual fleet warps etc - could be really cool.

If it turns out (as I suspect) that the actual battles aren't interesting enough as a backdrop, then that points to something lacking in current PvP that the Eve devs could focus on...?

Anyhow - I'll be buying one regardless.

So once again CCP is dirverting money and manpower from EvE Online to another project.. sigh.. I guess I'll never have a new pos-system, old code clean-up, see ship re-balancing of EAF, WiS and all the other cool stuff I've been promised again & again.

I know this is a great idea from CCP to change the scope of EVE. They should also look at getting the DUST players off planets and into stations. The Stations in null sec where you can board the station and take it over or destroy it from the inside. Even looting it the POS from within would be a nice thing to add as well.

Right now it feels like EVE and Dust are only sharing a chat room to be honest.

If they do have these fighters take off from carrier will I be able to walk around the carrier? Will I be able to tell if the carrier is under attack? If I get killed to I just re-spawn in a clone bay inside the carrier? If the carrier goes down will there be a station where my clone will jump to?

DRONE BAYS and FIGHTER HANGER IN POS!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN CCP!
